dream nightclub dayclub

I dreamt of a goddess place, like a nightclub but for the day or night, where people went to dance.  It was confusing because it was big and dark, and I lost the people I went in with.  Cell phones didn’t work right. I held a rattle, an orange plastic egg with beads in it,… Read More »
